• We love Smilax Glabra for its ability to add a subtle, grounded depth to any broth without overpowering the main ingredients. It is a fantastic "foundation" botanical for herbal infusions. Its clean, sliced form makes it incredibly easy to use—simply rinse and drop into your soup pot to unlock the centuries-old culinary wisdom of traditional Chinese kitchens.
